Good afternoon, everyone!
Bal kymyz is a chain of establishments with branches, mainly in Almaty.
I remember at one time this place was advertised by the stars of Biz's show, bloggers.
I visited this place with a group of 30-40 people. Koumiss may be delicious for them. But the food, the waiter service, the service in general left much to be desired.
This institution is located in the upper part of the city of Almaty, along the ave.Dostyk is closer to the mountains. Visited 09.09.2024 It was booked in advance.
Of the inconveniences, I note that there is no hot water in the bathrooms, there is none at all.
It was a rainy day, and it was getting colder in the mountains.
There is no namazkhana, we could allocate 5-6 squares for this. And arrange a separate "steam room" with hot water.
The waiters, if you can call them that, are very slow.
We ordered tea at the samovar and it was delivered late.
For lunch, we ordered "kuyrdak" but instead they brought the usual "roast" with hard meat, giving us this dish for "kuyrdak. But we know that and distinguish one from the other.
It's the same with the bauyrsaks. They didn't have time to fry.
And all because they do not know how to organize a dinner for so many people and calculate the cooking time.
We went up the gorge at 11.00 o'clock, it is clear that we will return by 13.00 o'clock, well, at most by 14.00. If we take into account this time, it was possible to cook hot, tea, baursaki bread by this time.
But I do not know for what reasons we waited first for tea, baursaks, then the roast was brought which they gave us for a kuyrdak.
I give them 1 point.
Even the letter "C" is unfamiliar to them from the word "service".
If you want to leave hungry and dissatisfied, then you are here.
The only plus of this place is the "location" of clean mountain air and kymyz. Everything else is lame
An unusual, ethno-institution. Koumiss is awesome. However, the cheese and quirdac are very expensive, the portion is small. But the koumiss is excellent. It's nice to sit outside.
